COMBINED BOILER STAND AND FITTING. I

Application filed September 18, 1924. Serial No. 738,498.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LAWRENCE Donna, a citizenof the United States, residing at Silverton, in the county of Marion,State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Combined Boiler Stands andFittings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to boiler stands and fittings, and has for itsobject to provide a boiler stand comprising a vertically disposed hollowmember, on the upper end of which is detach-ably connected an upwardlyextending member divided into compartments by a partition, one of whichcompartments is in communication with the chamber of the verticallydisposed hollow member and into which chamber settlement will drop. Alsoto provide means adjacent the lower end of the vertically disposedhollow member whereby sediment collected therein may be easily removed.

A further object is to provide the upper end of the partition formingthe compartments with a curved portion for deflecting cold water as itenters the boiler, towards one side of the boiler, also to dispose thedischarge port into the 'boiler for the cold water above the bottom ofthe boiler and above the discharge port through which water passes fromthe boiler.

A further object is to form the stand from a base having a chambertherein, a vertically disposed hollow pipe on the upper end of which isdetachably connected a discharge nozzle having spaced compartments withwhich intake and discharge pipes are connected.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in thecombination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown inthe drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes inthe precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope ofwhat is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the standand a portion of the boiler.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the chambered member of the stand.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a vertically disposedboiler and 2 the hot water pipe which leads therefrom to any suitablesource throughout the building. The boiler 1 is supported on a stand 3,which stand comprises a base t, having a chamber 5 therein, access towhich may be had by removing the plug 6, and in which chamber sedimentcollects as hereinafter set forth. Threaded at 7 into the upper end ofthe base 4 is a vertically disposed pipe 8, on the upper end of which isthreaded a casing 9. The casing 9 is divided into an intake chamber 10and a discharge chamber 11, and which chambers are formed by means of avertically disposed partition 12, which partition also forms a bottomfor the chamber 10, but at the same time leaves the lower end of thedischarge chamber 11 open, thereby allowing sediment to pass down wardlythrough the pipe 8 and into. the chamber 5 of the base, fromwhich it maybe easily removed in any'suitable manner.

lVater within the boiler 1 circulatsfronr a conventional form ofrange'through the pipe'13 into the boiler 1 and thence through thechamber 11 and pipe 14, which leads to the range," and which pipe 1a isprovided with a conventional form of faucet 15, whereby the water may bedrained from the boiler when desired, for instance for preventingfreezing. As the water circulates as above set forth, sediment will workto the chamber 5 of the base, and additional cold water may be suppliedto the recirculation water by means of the supply pipe 16, whichdischarges into the supply chamber 10. ater from the supply chamber 10passes upwardly and is discharged into the boiler 1 at 17 at a pointabove the upper end 18 of the chamber 11, and is partially deflectedbythe curved flange 19, which overlies the upper end of the supplychamber 10. It will be seen that a portion of the cold water supplied bythe pipe 16 will mingle with the recirculating water and will be heatedby the coil in the range in the usual manner, and the other water whichis deflected by the flange 19 will mingle with the water in the boilerand will be heated thereby and eventually circulated and recirculated.The pipe 16 is provided with a conventional form of valve 20 which maybe utilized for regulating the amount of water supplied to the boiler,or for cutting off the supply of water entirely. It will also be notedthat by closing the valve 20 and opening the drain faucet 15, the boilercan be entirely drained and the water within the stand 3 below the pipes14: and 16 may be drained from the base 4 at 6, therefore danger ofdamage to the device incident to freezing may be obviated, and repair tothe parts easily made. It is to be understood that any kind of drainmeans may be utilized in connection with the chamber 5 of the base 4,and applicant does not limit himself to any particular device. Theinvention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1.The combination with a boiler, of a stand therefor, said standcomprising a base having a chamber therein, means whereby access may behad to said chamber, a vertically disposed chambered member carried bysaid base and having its chamber in communication with the chamber ofthe base, a casingdetachably connected to the upper end of the chamberedmember, a partition in said casing, thereby forming a verticallydisposed intake chamber having its bottom closed and a verticallydisposed discharge chamber having its lower end open and incommunication with the chamber of the ver- 1 tically disposed chamberedmember, the up- ;per end of said casing being connected to the boilerand having the upper ends of the chambers thereof in communication withthe chamber of the boiler, the supply chamber being terminated in theboiler above the upper end of the discharge chamber.

2. A device of the character described comprising a chambered base, avertically disposed chambered member, the upper end of said chamberedmember being attached to a boiler and having an intake and dischargebeing chamber therein, said chambers formed by a vertically disposedpartition, supply and discharge pipes connected to the chambered memberand in communication with the chambers formed by the partition,

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
